A HISTORY OF PELLA

Choose a date below to travel through Pella's rich history.


1847


1847

In the summer of 1847, a company of immigrants from the Netherlands followed
Dominie Hendrik Peter Scholte and settled in Marion County, Iowa, on the divide
between the Des Moines and Skunk Rivers. In their own country, they had been
persecuted on account of religion, being dissenters from the state Reformed
church, and so they called their new home Pella, the name taken from a biblical
city of refuge. Upon the seal of their new town, they inscribed the words “In
Deo Spes Nostra et Refugium," or “In God Our Hope and Refuge.”

1853


1853

Central College officially opened Oct. 8, 1854, with a class of 37. The campus
consisted of one two-story building containing three rudimentary classrooms.
This fledgling institution grew both in size and mission during its first 60
years, eventually moving to a parcel of land donated by Pella’s founding father,
Dominie Pieter Scholte. The college survived fires, wars, and economic
depression during a period of history that saw the United States double in size.
It remained solvent because of the faith and dedication of its early faculty
members, some of whom accepted produce from local farms as payment. Today,
Central continues to encourage students to develop a global perspective and
joins with study abroad programs at universities around the world. Students also
gain a world view through faculty-led off-campus programs.

1859


1859

Infamous lawman Wyatt Earp moves to Pella as a child with his family. Within the
Pella Historical Museum, The Wyatt Earp Experience is a historical exhibit

relationships, and legacy as you explore the rooms where he lived in the early
1860s.

1925

The Rolscreen Company, now a window and door manufacturer known as Pella
Corporation, was established. They now have over 200 showrooms in the U.S.
providing windows and doors for both residential homes and commercial
applications.

utility, pipeline and mining markets.

The Vermeer Windmill, one of the tallest working grain windmills in the United

Netherlands, the mill was de-assembled, shipped to Iowa, and re-assembled here
in Pella in 2002.
